Bab 1062: Ambush [Pt 2]

With newfound determination burning in our eyes, Larry, Drake, and I rose to action.

"That's right, Aria! You're the strongest." Drake grinned widely.

"Perena just wants to kill you so she can be the new strongest," I added with a snicker.

Our voices of encouragement reached Aria, who seemed overcome with emotion as she stared at us.

"Y-you guys..."

"Larry, Drake, let's do this," I commanded, my gaze piercing through the mass of silver-haired Elves surrounding us.

'Why did I just say that? None of them can even fight...' I swiftly thought to myself.

It was one thing to support the actual fighter among us, and it was another to leap into action.

Larry responded with a nod, determination etched into his usually jovial features. Drake, however, offered a smug smirk, his knuckles popping ominously as he readied himself for the coming storm.

'Looks like they took my words too seriously.' I forced a grin on my face.
